DPMS LR308 Lower Review

The DPMS LR308 lower robustly engineered to form the basis of an accurate, hard hitting .308 rifle for sporting, hunting or military use. The LR308 lower is available stripped or fitted with a pistol grip, fire control group and a choice of A2 style Dupont Zytel fixed buttstock with trapdoor for storage or a six position, M-4 style collapsible butt. The LR308 lower is precision machined from a billet of high-strength 7075 T-6 aluminum which is 40% stronger than the 6000 series used for some AR receivers. The stock is reinforced to take thousands of rounds of .308 ammunition over the course of its lifetime. Two protective processes are used on the exterior of the complete lowers. First the surface is hard coat anodized black, then a protective teflon coating is applied which provides abrasion protection. The triggerguard, whilst providing ample clearance for a gloved finger, is an integral part of the stock rather than a separate component for added strength. The mag well is beveled for speed of loading. These are ‘small pin’ lowers with 0.154″ hammer and trigger pin holes and .275″ pivot pin holes.
